This story centers around a feud between the McCreadys' and the Gabriels' which involves the powerful McCready family and the homestead of the Gabriel family. McCready is wanting the land that the Gabriels' possess since they have found a natural spring on the land and Mr McCready is set to do anything to get the land.
The feud appears to come to a halt when the Gabriel's young son comes down with symptoms of cholera. But little do we know that the feud is just heating and the ending will not satisfy anyone.
A fairly simple story that ends with a sobering twist. With some fine guest actors and a regal performance by James Arness, this episode proved to be interesting tale. Even with the slow start the ending made the entire episode worthy of watching. Good show.
